SXSW reveals massive third wave of bands

SXSW have announced their third wave of bands - 741 of them, to be exact. Almost every new band you've ever wanted to see is probably playing this year, so I'd start booking your flight to the festival now.

It's the most wonderful time of the year - SXSW announcements! The week long festival/insanity/shitshow has revealed their third wave of bands, a list that's 700+ names deep. Any buzzband you've ever wanted to see in your life is probably playing this year, but there are some larger names on the bill as well including Charli XCX, Sharon Van Etten, Twin Shadow, Dum Dum Girls, and Ryan Hemsworth. Check out the full list, including the bands they announced last year, over at SXSW's website, and take a look at a very, very small portion of the list below.
